The Telegraph: Revealed: rising toll of deaths before dishonour.
One young woman, too scared to be identified, tells a shocking tale of brutality at the hands of her family. When she refused a forced marriage her three elder brothers lured her to a relative's home and beat her for an hour. "I was bleeding and my nose was broken," she says, "but even so my brother handed me lighter fuel and a box of matches and said, 'You know what you have to do. Do it or we will do it for you'." She was rescued by friends but knows that if her family ever find her she will be killed.
